The model works well for English-speaking residents but so far, there have been no homes exclusively for Spanish-speaking residents. A new home in north Illinois that researchers hope will open later this month will be the proving ground.

Andrea Lyon

In other news, the Orlando Sentinel and Miami Herald reported that Andrea Lyon, a clinical professor of law and director of DePaul’s Center for Justice in Capital Cases, joined the defense team for Casey Anthony, a Florida woman charged with murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. Lyon has defended more than 30 potential capital cases at the trial level and has taken 19 through penalty phase, winning all 19.

The Center for Justice in Capital Cases is just one of the College of Law’s clinical programs, which enable students to sharpen their legal skills and knowledge while working with community members.
